CMT215.050.10 Industrial Combination Blade, 10-Inch x 50 Teeth 4ATB+1TCG Grind with 5/8-Inch Bore, PTFE Coating

I had used Freud blades in my table saw for years but having seen good reviews for these CMT blades, decided to try them. WOW, what a difference. The CMT blade is noticably sharper and stiffer. making for cleaner and easier cuts. I then bought a cross cut model for my radial arm saw with similar experience. I will never go back!

I am making a side table with Hickory, a fairly hard wood. My old blade was from the "HD" store, not Diablo but their house blade. It was 40 tooth and worked well for a while on Maple and Walnut. The difference with this blade is substantial - the old blade would burn the wood and struggle when rip-sawing a 1 inch thick plank of Hickory. Installed the new blade, and the cut is smooth and effortless. The cut quality looks like I already sanded the wood. They include sharpening instructions in the cardboard sleeve, so when needed you can sharpen your blade yourself. This is a great option if you don't want to shell out the dough for Forest just yet. Recommended.

I usually buy Freud .125 kerf blades for my Grizzly 1023 saw because it has a splitter / riving knife with my shark guard attached to it. I really like the Freud brand, but was noticing some minor saw marks on 3/4 material on my past 2 Freud blades. It wasn't horrible, but just not what I expected. I decided to give the CMT blade a shot instead and I am impressed. It cuts extremely smooth and leaves no cut marks on any 3/4" material. It really is impressive. I actually was running my fingers up a and down the first cut in my hard maple board because it seemed like I ran it through the jointer. I do notice some cut marks though when the material is 5/4 on up, but nothing that would make me take a star from the rating. This really is a great blade and I plan on purchasing this one again when need be.

First impressions after a few weeks of use. It is definitely a step up in quality and performance from the Dewalt 32T and OEM Sawstop 40T blades I used before. Dewalt blade would burn red oak and birch over 4/4 when ripping. No scorching at all using this blade on hardwood and the cuts are smooth and glue-line quality. No tear out whatsoever on 3/4 plywood unlike my Sawstop. Cuts 2" pine like butter. So far it seems to be $ well spent.

This saw makes amazing cuts, as you can see in my photo it cuts through steel washers.The downside is that it has a high pitch resonance with my table saw. . . . Not sure why, I just order some blade stiffeners to hopefully shift resonant frequency.

This blade is a wood eating monster. I've been through several cheapies lately just because I haven't had time to do the proper research and i kept telling myself that I'd get around to it before the next cheapie wore out. Finally I got so fed up with the cheap blades that I sat myself down and researched the heck out of these things. After deciding on a 50 tooth count full kerf, I debated for a long time between the CMT Industrial and the Freud. Ended up going with this one. I'm sure the Freud is a nice blade, but man I have no regrets with the CMT. I call this thing big orange and it spins in my table saw like a champ. I'll probably never buy any other blade as long as they keep making these things as a reasonable price.

Super heavy duty! This thing cuts very smooth on rips and cross-cut. I use it in my table saw. It's a hair thicker than my other blades but not enough to throw off measurements. Seems like it is made to last.

After years of dealing with the original blade, decided to upgrade, couldn't be happier, this blade cuts smooth and accurate, very good product, I'll buy one for my chop saw

This blade works very well for my needs. Rips walnut, maple and oak with no problem and little or none tear out or burning. Cuts through plywood like it’s butter. Nice quiet blade with lots of carbide for multiple sharpening. Much better than my Freud blades.

If you could only use 1 blade ,this is the one !While not a overly thin kerf, this blade cuts so clean and true why bother using any other.Forget Freud, this is a smooth durable cutting work horse thanks to CMT.I have gone thru dozens of blades over the last 25 years and this is the best all round blade.

Good blade, I use it on my table saw and it cuts beautifully! These blades are far superior to Dewalt blades?,

A high quality circular blade
